Like you Adam, so many I can't even remember them all. But the main one that comes to mind is not prewar. It's the 1952 Topps Mantle. I had a chance to buy one from a doctor in town that was selling his whole childhood collection. He had two, and they both sparkled. He wanted $900 each, your choice. The 1952 Mantle had earlier hit a high of around $3K and then had dropped to back around $1K. I thought "there's no way that card will return to those levels!" Well, of course I was wrong. I did buy a beautiful 1953 Topps Roy Campanella from him, but I've kicked myself ever since for not taking the chance.

Adam- I remember Cobb checks going for $18.00 in the old THE TRADER SPEAKS, I passed because I didn't have $18.00 in the mid-70s most of the time!

A couple of times I have hit a Buy it Now on ebay and someone purchased the item in the meantime between me thinking to hit the button and actually hitting it. That kind of sucks.....
I won 1 of these 2 Ruth cards (batting) as my best offer was accepted on ebay at the same exact time another board member hit the Buy It Now on it. I was fortunate on that one....
